Since I used VMware for the first time I have been fascinated about the virtualization technology.

On this page I put up some useful things for use with VMware products. Have fun, but use at your own risk.

If you want to contact me, see the end of the page.

Overview

(Software) VMRemote

VMware Workstation 5 includes a very nice tool, vmrun, that allows the user to control some VMware functions via the command line, mostly to start and stop virtual machines.

The tool VMRemote takes this further by exposing vmrun's commands to the network so they can be executed from another computer. VMRemote and its client require the .NET Framework 1.1.

Features of version 1.2:

  • Supports all commands of Workstation 5.5:
    • List, start, stop, reset and suspend virtual machines or teams
    • Upgrade file format and virtual hardware
    • Install tools
    • List, revert to, take, delete snapshot(s)
  • Client API is a separate class library, which makes it reusable
  • Server can log all actions executed

Es1371 Driver Windows 3.1 Installer

Download VMRemote 1.2Requires .NET Framework 1.1

Notes:

  • This software was created before VMware Workstation 6.0 was released. Newer Workstation versions contain features that are similar to what VMRemote provides.
  • In VMware Workstation 6.0 and higher, the VIX API is available for developers to manage virtual machines from an application.
  • In VMware Workstation 8.0 and higher, a server feature is available that allows users to share virtual machines and manage them remotely from another Workstation instance or the VIX API.

(Software) Shell extension for VMware DiskMount

As part of the VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit, the tool DiskMount can be downloaded which allows offline mounting of VMware virtual disks as a drive letter.

The shell extension lets you mount such virtual disks via a Windows Explorer context menu.

Notes:

  • This software was created before VMware Workstation 6.0 was released. Newer Workstation versions contain features that are similar to what this shell extension provides.
  • In VMware Workstation 6.0 and higher, there is a built-in feature to mount disks offline. This also includes a shell extension.

(Software) MS-DOS / Windows 3.1 / Windows for Workgroups 3.11 driver package

I've put together a package containing drivers and important updates for using with MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 within VMware products.

I call this collection the '31pack' (pronounced 'three-one pack').

The current version is 1.1. The following changes were made from the initial release:

  • An older DOSidle version 2.0 was added for the cases where the version 2.10 conflicts with EMM386.
  • MSCDEX was added for scenarios where it is not installed as part of MS-DOS.

The 31pack is available as a simple set of files or as an ISO image, ready for mounting in a virtual machine. Enclosed in the ISO image download is also a floppy disk image that contains only the CD-ROM driver and MSCDEX.

Doerr motor lr22132 manual. The package contains:

  • Microsoft Network Client 3.0
  • Network card driver for AMD PCNET cards (NDIS2/NDIS3)
  • CD-ROM driver
  • MSCDEX
  • Sound driver for SoundBlaster 16
  • Super VGA driver patch
  • DOSIdle tool
  • WQGHLT tool
  • Y2K Update for File Manager
  • Euro support

To install the software, either copy all files into an INSTALL directory within the virtual machine, such as C:INSTALL, or mount the provided ISO image.

Below I'll outline the steps to install each component, along with the systems that the driver or update applies to.

Networking

Microsoft Network Client 3.0 / Network card driver:

  • In DOS mode, change to the MSCLIENT directory and run SETUP.EXE.
  • As the adapter, select '*Network adapter not shown on list below' and enter C:INSTALLAMDPCNETDOS as the driver directory to install the drivers for the 'Advanced Micro Devices PCNET Family' adapter.
  • Configure other settings & protocols as you wish. There is a good step-by-step article at WindowsNetworking.com.
  • The TCP/IP protocol, which is vital for connecting to the Internet, is not installed by default. If you want to use it, you must explicitly select it during installation.

Activating the network in Windows 3.1:

  • In Windows, open Windows Setup and go to Options > Change System settings > Network
  • Select 'Microsoft Network (or 100% Compatible)'. 'Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1' also works.

Important: The MS-DOS network drivers must be loaded for the network to function in Windows.

Network card driver:

  • Requires that the Microsoft Network was installed when Windows was installed.
  • In Windows, open Windows Setup and go to Options > Change Network Settings > Network Drivers > Drivers > Add Adapter > Unlisted or Updated Network Adapter
  • Browse to the AMDPCNETWFW311 directory to install the drivers for the 'Advanced Micro Devices PCNET Family' adapter.

TCP/IP protocol driver:

  • This protococol is vital for connecting to the Internet.
  • In Windows, open Windows Setup and go to Options > Change Network Settings > Network Drivers > Drivers > Add Protocol > Unlisted or Updated Protocol
  • Browse to the TCP32B directory
  • If you only want to use the TCP/IP protocol, you can remove the other protocols like IPX/SPX or NetBEUI. If you want to keep other protocols, you might want to set the TCP/IP protocol as the default protocol.
CD-ROM

CD-ROM driver:

  • In DOS mode, go into the CDROM directory and run INSTALL.EXE. You should use the 'Easy Install' option unless you have problems.

MSCDEX:

  • The installer of the CD-ROM driver sets up MSCDEX to launch automatically in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
  • MS-DOS 6.0 and higher include MSCDEX. On these systems there is nothing more to do.
  • For scenarios where MSCDEX is not installed as part of MS-DOS, copy MSCDEX.EXE from the MSCDEX directory into C:DOS.
Sound

Sound driver:

  • The included drivers are for DOS and Windows.
  • You may have to change a setting in the virtual machine config file first, to get the SB16. This is because some VMware products supply a different type of sound card per default. Power off the VM, open the configuration file (.vmx) in an editor, find the line starting with 'sound.virtualDev' and change it to sound.virtualDev = 'sb16'. If the line is not present, just add it. After the change power on the VM again.
  • In DOS mode, go to the SB16 directory and run INSTALL.EXE. You should accept the defaults unless you have problems.
Display

Super VGA driver patch:

  • This is a patch Ken Kato wrote to make Super VGA work under WFW 3.11 in a VMware environment. It might also work for Win 3.1, but I did not test that.
    Note: The web site linked to is no longer active. It has possibly moved to this page.
  • The patch files are in the VGAPATCH directory, be sure to read the included documentation.
  • To test the new graphics mode, I used a colorful LCARS image I found on the net as a wallpaper.
CPU Idling

DOSidle tool (v2.10):

  • MS-DOS does not idle the CPU when there's nothing to do. This does not affect the operating system, but when running in virtualized environments, it takes up all the processor power on the host.
  • In DOS mode, start DOSIDLE.EXE from the DOSIDLEV0210 directory to activate CPU idling.
  • Put it into your AUTOEXEC.BAT to start it automatically when booting.

Alternative 1: DOSidle 2.0

  • The DOSidle version 2.10 can conflict with EMM386 (at least in MS-DOS 7.1):
  • If you get the above error, you can use the older DOSidle version 2.0 instead, which does not have this problem. It is in the DOSIDLEV0200 directory.

Alternative 2: Microsoft Power Manager (POWER)

  • Use this if you cannot use DOSidle for any reason.
  • In MS-DOS 6.0 and higher, POWER is part of the operating system.
  • To install POWER with maximum power saving, add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:

    and reboot the system.

WQGHLT tool:

  • Windows 3.x does not idle the CPU when there's nothing to do. This does not affect the operating system, but when running in virtualized environments, it takes up all the processor power on the host.
  • To install WQGHLT, copy WQGHLT.386 from the WQGHLT directory to C:WINDOWSSYSTEM, add a line to C:WINDOWSSYSTEM.INI's [386Enh] section, like this:

    and restart Windows.

Operating System Updates

Y2K Update for File Manager:

  • The File Manager shows wrong dates for files changed in or after the year 2000. To fix this, go to the WFWY2KUP directory in DOS mode and run INSTALL.BAT with the name of your Windows directory as parameter, for example 'INSTALL C:WINDOWS'.
  • The update in the WFWY2KUP directory is for english Windows versions. If you have a german Windows version, you can use the update in the WFWY2KDE directory instead.

Euro support:

  • This updates the keyboard drivers and fonts to include the Euro (€) symbol.
  • In DOS mode, go into EURO_DEU directory and run W31_EURO.BAT with the name of your Windows directory as parameter, for example 'W31_EURO C:WINDOWS'. Note that this install batch is german.
  • The last output of that script should read 'Fertig', meaning 'Done'.
  • Then copy the additional Euro fonts from the EUROFONT directory to C:WINDOWSSYSTEM.

(Article) Logging on to a Windows Server 2003 domain from older DOS/Windows systems

If you have an MS-DOS or older Windows system running (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98/ME or below), logon attempts from such versions to a Windows Server 2003 domain fail out of the box because Windows Server 2003 domain controllers have communication signing (SMB signing) enabled by default and the old systems do not support it. SMB signing was introduced to prevent malicious users from tampering or intercepting network traffic.

If you need a quick-and-dirty solution for compatibility reasons, simply turn of SMB signing at the domain controller - see below for how to do this. For more details about this issue and ways to resolve it, see Microsoft's KB entries 811497 and 555038.

How to disable communication signing on Windows Server 2003:

  • Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Domain Controller Security Policy
  • In the tree, open Local Policies > Security Options
  • On the right, find 'Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)' and set it to Disabled or remove the check mark in front of 'Define this policy setting'

(Article) Finding the right virtual sound card and driver for your guest operating system

Es1371 Driver Windows 3.1

The default sound card emulated in VMware Workstation depends on the program version and the guest operating system:

ProgramGuest OS1Sound Card Name
VMware Workstation 8.x and higherWindows Vista and higherHigh Definition Audio
VMware Workstation 8.x and higherWindows XP and lowerSound Blaster AudioPCI2
VMware Workstation 7.x and lowerAll Windows versionsSound Blaster AudioPCI2
VMware Workstation 10.x and higher3MS-DOS or Windows 3.1Sound Blaster 16

1For simplicity, the appropriate server versions of Windows were omitted, it applies to them as well.
2May be labeled differently in the guest OS depending on the driver used, e.g. Sound Blaster PCI 128.
3And maybe also in some lower versions, this was not tested.

Windows 95,
Windows 98
sound.virtualDev = 'es1371'

Beginning with VMware Workstation 6.0, installing this driver causes new Windows 95 and 98 VMs to crash (blue screen) at driver installation. Additionally, Windows 95 VMs where the crash occurred become unbootable and the operating system halts with a Windows Protection Error. Windows 95 and 98 VMs that have been created with previous Workstation versions that have this driver installed crash after upgrading the virtual hardware to Workstation 6.0 or higher.

Workarounds:

  • For new Windows 95 VMs, use Workstation 5 hardware or a SB16 sound card.
  • For new Windows 98 (first edition) VMs use a SB16 sound card.
  • For new Windows 98 SE VMs, use the WDM driver instead of this driver, it does not have this issue.
  • For existing Windows 9x VMs with this driver, don't upgrade beyond Workstation 5 hardware.

1The entry is only for selecting the sound card device, not to add a new virtual sound card. It might not be present if the default emulated sound card is in use.
2Some of the systems might already include the necessary drivers and in this case no separate driver needs to be installed.

(Article) Playing games in virtual machines

I also like playing games, not only current ones, but also older games. The following is a list of operating systems that can or cannot be used for playing games in a virtual machine.

This list is specific to VMware Workstation and is solely based on my own opinion.

Guest OSCan Play?Comments
MS-DOSNoSlow. Problematic hardware setup. Don't use. Use DOSBox instead.
Windows 3.1MaybeI only tried small games and no VMware Tools are available, so it may not work for more demanding games.
Windows 95YesLooks ok.
Windows 98YesLooks ok.
Windows MEYesLooks ok.
Windows 2000MaybeMay work if games don't require graphics hardware features (T&L, shaders, etc.).
Windows XPMaybeVMware Workstation 6.5 includes DirectX 9.0c support for Windows XP. You need a decent machine to make this work.
Windows VistaMaybeMay work if games don't require graphics hardware features (T&L, shaders, etc.).

Experiences with the new Direct3D Support in VMware Workstation 6.5

When I tried out this feature the first time, I set all graphics settings in the games to minimum. It was still too slow for me, not fluid enough. Either my machine was too old for this or there is some improvent potential on VMware's side. On the host, I was able to play all the games in high quality without noticeable problems.

The first lesson I learned, was that upgrading to the Workstation 6.5 hardware version is absolutely necessary, to get something useful regarding 3D performance. Done that, the performance was still unsatisfying. In the end, it turned out that my host machine was underpowered for this task (Intel P4 'Prescott' @ 3 GHz with an ATI Radeon X800 GT).

So a decent machine is required, even for older games. I upgraded the host's hardware and it became better (Intel Core2Duo @ 3,16 GHz with an ATI Radeon HD 3850).

I tested the following games with the new host hardware:

  • Max Payne 2 (2003): High quality graphics settings @ 1680x1050x32; Subjective performance: OK
  • No One Lives Forever 2 (2004) - High quality graphics settings; Subjective performance: OK
  • Half-Life 2: Episode Two (2007) - Moderate graphics settings @ 1680x1050; Subjective performance: Moderate, ~15 fps on average (not calculated, just by looking at the FPS counter from time to time)

Graphics settings for Max Payne 2:
